6 Goals in 6 UEFA Champions League Group Stage Matches! Tang Long Surpasses Cristiano Ronaldo, Topping the Scorer List!
Human beings experience joy and sorrow differently.
In small pubs in downtown Barcelona, countless fans who hadn't traveled with their teams were watching the game on television, drinking beer.
When the final whistle blew, a tremendous wail nearly blew the roof off the tavern!
Countless beer glasses shattered on the ground, and the molten beer, like erupting lava, carried the anger of the fans and covered every corner of the ground.
"A disgrace! This is the greatest disgrace I've experienced in my twenty years of watching football!"
"What a disgrace! We lost 0-2, and we fielded our strongest lineup while half of theirs were substitutes!"
"Why can't we keep an eye on Tang! We know he's very strong, but we just can't control him!"
"He single-handedly killed both of us!"
"What MSN? All three of them combined only scored two goals, not even as many as Tang!"
"Manchester City is so vicious! Couldn't they have gone easy on us a little?!"
"Guardiola, we hate you!"
Meanwhile, 850 kilometers away from Barca, Rhine River, lies Borussia Monchengladbach.
The atmosphere is completely different in the same small pub where fans like to gather!
It's often said that you shouldn't build your happiness on the suffering of others, but in the world of football, sometimes that kind of cruelty is necessary.
When Tang Long scored with a free kick in the last minute of the match, the explosive roar and the sonic waves shook the glass of the tavern, making it rattle loudly!
Countless beer glasses were smashed on the ground, and the hops flowed merrily like the Rhine River, filling the entire pub with laughter and cheers.
Monchengladbach fans jumped onto the tables, took off their jackets and waved them in their hands, and sang the Prussian military song, "Defend the Rhine River!"
"Who will go to the Rhine? Who will go to the Rhine to protect her from invasion?"
"Dear motherland, rest assured, Rafael has defended the Rhine!"
"The blood of heroes is boiling; who will go to the Rhine and protect her from invasion?"
"Tang protected the Rhine!"
"Don and Rafael defended the Rhine together!"
Real Madrid star Marcelo posted this picture on his social media.
A huge UEFA Europa League!
Real Madrid always manages to come back from behind, while some teams are always the ones who get come back from behind. I won't name names, you can guess.
As Barca's fierce city rivals, Real Madrid's players were overjoyed to see their opponent eliminated from the UEFA Champions League knockout stage at the last minute, and in such a comical way.
Benzema, Modric, Casemiro, and others all gave Marcelo a thumbs up.
Meanwhile, Spain player Carvajal directly retweeted Marcelo's post, adding the comment:
"Great teams always take their destiny into their own hands, and unfortunately, they didn't tonight."
Real Madrid fans found these sarcastic and mocking remarks amusing.
Just as AC Milan fans don't want Inter Milan to do well, Real Madrid fans are overjoyed and applauding when Barca suffers a surprising defeat!
Let alone Barca being eliminated in the group stage and having to play in the UEFA Europa League, I'd be even happier if Barca didn't even qualify for the UEFA Europa League next season.
Understandable!
However, compared to the collective celebration of Real Madrid players...
But one person just couldn't be happy.
That's Cristiano Ronaldo.
After watching the Manchester City vs. Barca match, the Portuguese man sat alone in his living room, deep in thought and filled with anxiety.
The reason is simple: Tang Long has scored far too many goals, so many that he has surpassed his own record and is now ranked first in the UEFA Champions League top scorers list.
After 6 rounds of group stage matches.
Real Madrid and Manchester City are the only two teams to advance with six wins out of six matches and a total of 18 points.
As the top scorers for their respective teams, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Long have both delivered outstanding performances and are key figures in their teams' remarkable achievements.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 10 goals in 6 group stage matches!
Such data is truly astounding. Keep in mind that this is only the sixth game, and Cristiano Ronaldo's UEFA Champions League goal tally has already reached double digits. He truly deserves the title of UEFA Champions League King.
However, to Cristiano Ronaldo's embarrassment, Tang Long actually scored one more goal than him.
That's right, Tang Long scored a staggering 11 goals in 6 group stage matches, topping the UEFA Champions League scoring charts!
Cristiano Ronaldo was scrolling through his phone when he saw Tang Long's name on the top scorer list, actually above his own. He immediately felt like Tang Long was dominating him.
"Damn it! How can I allow a 20-year-old player to score more UEFA Champions League goals than me? Just you wait and see. In the knockout stage, you'll all know who the true King of the UEFA Champions League is!"
Cristiano Ronaldo went to his home gym to do extra strength training.
That's just his personality. Although he can't stand others being better than him, he never feels sorry for himself. Instead, he trains harder and harder, using the monotonous training day after day to hone himself into someone stronger than he is today.
UEFA Champions League experienced Portugal striker insists that the group stage is all about playing like a mini- Rami, and only in the knockout stages can true heroes emerge.
The latest odds for UEFA Champions League top scorers released by betting companies have changed!
The gap between Tang Long and Cristiano Ronaldo has narrowed significantly, and they are now almost neck and neck.
The players behind them, whether it's Lewandowski (5 goals) or Griezmann (4 goals), are not in the same league as them. Judging from the odds alone, they are just there to make up the numbers.
Lionel Messi, who was eliminated in the group stage, has already dropped out of the race for the top scorer.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo 1:1.8
2. Tang Long 1:1.85
4. Lewandowski 1:11
5. Griezmann 1:12
"Wow? Tang's UEFA Champions League goal tally has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo's! He's terrifyingly strong!"
Wanda was scrolling through social media at home when she saw this news.
She rarely watches football matches; she learns about the sport primarily through social media.
Icardi, who was doing a supine crunch on a yoga mat on the balcony, gave Wanda a disdainful look. "It's been a day and a half, and you're only finding out now? Someone like you, acting like my manager?"
Icardi deliberately provoked his wife Wanda, as the two have been having disagreements lately.
The reason is that Icardi has lost his place at Manchester United and is no longer being used by Pellegrini.
His Transfermarkt value has also plummeted, from UEFA Champions League 120 million at the start of the season to €80 million.
Wanda was even more anxious than Icardi, because if Icardi, this promising talent, were to decline now, how would she continue to extract more gold coins from him?
Recently, news has circulated that Paris Saint-Germain, having failed to acquire Tang Long, has decided to try and sign Icardi in the winter transfer window.
When Wanda heard this news, she was overjoyed and couldn't wait to take her husband to Paris!
"My dear Mauro, Paris is the best city in the world. It has a long history and the most fashionable clothes. Oh, and they pay you 50% more than Manchester United!" Wanda whispered to Icardi in the middle of the night.
Icardi tilted his head and turned away. "I'm not going! I'll consider it when I lead Manchester United to the Premier League title!"
He said indignantly that he hadn't won the Premier League title with Manchester United yet, and he was unwilling to accept it. Leaving now would imply that he would never be able to beat Tang Long in the Premier League.
"Money is important, of course, but a man's dignity cannot be ignored," Icardi said stubbornly.
Upon hearing this, Wanda sneered and then said something that infuriated Icardi so much that he jumped out of bed!
